Jack Campbell Pavilion |
This structure was erected about 2000 to house the 20 hp
Evans gas engine. It was adopted by the late Jack Campbell
who faithfully maintained the engine and operated it for all museum
events. At his passing, the site was renamed and dedicated to his
memory. |
The Jack Campbell Pavilion is located next to the Susong Building. |
This 20 hp Evans engine was built in Butler, PA, in
the early 1900s. It spent its working life pumping an oil well
just east of Chicora, PA, and finally came to the museum about 1990.
It lived in several locations here before this final home was
constructed. Evans engines are four cycle throttling and most ran
on the gas cock without a governor. They proved most dependable
for round-the-clock service and there are still some running in 24/7
service today. |
